Match Legitimate Name or Location - T1655.001 (114fed8b-7eed-4136-8b9c-411c5c7fff4b)

Adversaries may match or approximate the name or location of legitimate files or resources when naming/placing them. This is done for the sake of evading defenses and observation. This may be done by giving artifacts the name and icon of a legitimate, trusted application (i.e., Settings), or using a package name that matches legitimate, trusted applications (i.e., com.google.android.gm).

Adversaries may also use the same icon of the file or application they are trying to mimic.
